Cleansing for your unique Mind-Body type

Just like our diets, one size does not fit everyone when it comes to cleansing and detoxification. We are all unique and require different nutritional needs depending on our constitution, lifestyle and the season.

Ayurveda provides us with the tools we need to stay in balance with Mother Nature and the environment in which we live. Once you know your unique mind-body type, your dosha, you will be empowered to adapt your lifestyle in accordance with nature and life a happy and healthy life.

During cleansing it is important to listen to your body and follow the inner guidance that you feel within your heart. Stick to a regular routine of waking, eating and sleeping at the same time each day and consume foods according to your constitution using the guidance below:

A warm nourish approach to cleansing is most beneficial for vata individuals to counteract their cold and dry nature. Stewed apples and pears are a great way to start the day. Hearty soups are great for lunch and a sweet variation of kitcheri for dinner.

With pitta having a fiery nature, raw foods are the most beneficial for cleansing especially in the summer or warm weather. Start your day with a green juice. Salad’s are great for lunch and a warm nourishing meal for dinner.

Kapha individuals are most suited to more intense cleansing methods as they are inclined to congestion and mucus build up in the body. It is good for kapha to skip breakfast and break their fast at lunch time with a green juice followed by kitcheri or soup for dinner.

Happy Cleansing! I look forward to hearing how you get on, please leave your comments below.
